Actually, this is more like a guide to Blaze minus hand-percussion overloads. 01: A lot closer to Level 42 than the Bee Gees. 02: Only remotely like Bill Withers; brings great mists of purification as much as Pepe Bradock's "Deep Burnt." 03: Closer to Herb Alpert than Donald Byrd & 125th Street NYC. 04: Cynic kryptonite. 05: Exactly like MFSB. 06: More Upchurch/Tennyson than Rufus/Chaka. 07: Closer to Bernard Wright featuring Robert Owens than Diana Ross & the Supremes. 08: More Rufus/Chaka than Mary/Puffy. 09: More Loose Ends than Earth, Wind & Fire. 10: Jamie Principle after stalker rehab.

hey andy - you're not feeling "my beat"? ;-)
(everyone go find the new afro/highlife remixes of "my beat" by s.u.m.o. - they're a lark)
first of a series, then? [rubs hands together]
The three mentioned tracks would probably make the top 40.
can't fool dis kitty, dat's HEATWAVE !
thanks for this--i've been looking for a way into blaze without all the hand-percussion
black rascals (blaze) 'keeping my mind (sumo)
